1. Leverage x10 – too risky $BTC

Problem: High leverage accelerates not only profits but also losses. Even a small market reversal can liquidate your position.

Solution:

• Use x3–x5 if you want to trade with leverage. This reduces the risk of instant liquidation.

• The key is the size of the position, not the leverage. If you need more risk, it's better to increase the trade amount without excessive leverage.

2. Lack of stop-loss due to fear of false triggers

Problem: You are afraid the market will reverse after your stop, but without a stop you have no control over your losses.

Solution:

• Use a stop-loss based on structure (for example, below a support/resistance level).

• Do not place it too close to avoid accidental triggers.

• Alternative: Use alerts instead of a hard stop and close manually if the price is not moving in the desired direction.

3. Useless averaging down for a better entry point

Problem: Averaging down in a losing position only worsens the situation if the price goes against you.

Solution:

• Average down only within reasonable limits, for example, if there is a clear level, not just "just in case".

• Split entry into parts, but do not increase the position blindly
